Reimers.  \nAbstract: In this paper an unusual informant is asked about the relationship between public education and democracy. Discussed also are the differences between schooling as preparation for employment vs. schooling for democratic living. The latter requires a curriculum different from that often found in America’s public schools. An example of what one such curriculum might look like is provided. Also discussed is the problem of providing youth an apprenticeship in democracy, when some argue that few public schools are democratically run. Noted as well is the troubled relationship of contemporary assessment practices with, simultaneously, the desire to foster democratic values in our public schools. Also examined are the contemporary problems associated with assuring youth unfettered access to the literature and ideas of our civilization. It is a common belief that democracy cannot thrive when access to information is controlled. Finally, the many roles that community schools play in fostering democratic living are considered.  \nKeywords: curriculum; apprenticeship; employability; censorship; public education; democracy  \nEspeculaciones sobre el estado de la educación pública y el estado de la democracia en Estados Unidos  \nResumen: En este artículo, se consulta a un informante inusual sobre la relación entre laeducación pública y la democracia. También se discuten las diferencias entre la escolarización como preparación para el empleo y la escolarización para la vida democrática. Esta últimarequiere un plan de estudios diferente al que a menudo se encuentra en las escuelas públicas de Estados Unidos. Se proporciona un ejemplo de cómo podría ser dicho plan de estudios; además, de abordar el problema de brindar a los jóvenes una formación en democracia, cuando algunos argumentan que pocas escuelas públicas se gestionan de manera democrática. También se señala la problemática relación de las prácticas de evaluación contemporáneas con el deseo de fomentar valores democráticos en nuestras escuelas públicas. Asimismo, se examinan los problemas contemporáneos relacionados con asegurar a los jóvenes un acceso sin restricciones a la literatura e ideas de nuestra civilización. Es una creencia común que la democracia no puede prosperar cuando se controla el acceso a la información. Por último, se consideran los numerosos roles que desempeñan las escuelas comunitarias en fomentar de la vida democrática.  \nPalabras clave: plan de estudios; formación; empleabilidad; censura; educación pública; democracia  \nEspeculações sobre experiências na educação pública e a saúde da democracia nacional Resumo: Neste artigo, um informante incomum é questionado sobre a relação entre educaçãopública e democracia.
